Stoptech 14" kit, Rotora 14" kit, AP 14.25" kit. Most BBKs will fill up you wheel wells while emptying you wallet

AP Racing for me. Over 14" rotors and huge calipers. They have been very good to me...

that Baer rotor looks tiny in that pic...esp relative to the caliper. I wonder what pad it uses (can't be very big)

All comes down to budget and to what you are using the car for.

Rotora would be a good choice then if all you are doing is street driving..the problem is getting replacement pads can be a royal PIA when the time comes

If it were me, I'd go for Stoptechs - very well priced, looks great, excellent build quality, and, a TON of aftermarket pad options down the road too

The other thing too is what exact wheels do you have? Not all 19's will clear all big brake kits. And what is your budget?

+1 on the Rotoras but Im biased. But there is a thread about pads that were found that work with the rotoras on top of what are specifically for them.

LOL.

So true. I remember getting in to an argument on this board because I felt that the price of BBK were so outrageous because they cost practically as much as an entire turbo kit yet all they are are discs, pads, pistons and lines.

Edit: I think I got into the debate with Z1 who posted above me, lol.

the only option you would have at that price is possibly picking up a factory brembo front wheel kit... if u add a couple hundred...

OP's budget is ~$550, give or take a few hundred $s. StopTech Stage 2 Kit is a good choice for his budget.

Yeah it would be, but it still won't fill in the gap between his rotors and his wheels.
